Geoff Diehl on Health Care

 

 


Reduce the number of healthcare mandates

Small-sized employers should be allowed to choose high-deductible and mandate-lite plans. Given the desire for greater cost containment overall, legislators should revisit the mandated benefits and repeal those that impose unnecessary costs.

Opposes single-payer healthcare

As Elizabeth Warren took to the stage, alongside Bernie Sanders to promote a single-payer healthcare bill, Diehl stated his opposition. "As a husband and a father, I know that healthcare is one of the most important things, especially when there is an illness in the family," said Diehl. "I want to make sure people get the best care possible. Elizabeth Warren is for single-payer government controlled healthcare. That's not the answer."

Repeal healthcare mandate, according to CC survey.

Diehl supports the CC survey question on healthcare mandate

The Christian Coalition Voter Guide inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Repealing the Nationalized Health Care System that Forces Citizens to Buy Insurance ' Christian Coalition's self-description: "Christian Voter Guide is a clearing-house for traditional, pro-family voter guides. We do not create voter guides, nor do we interview or endorse candidates."
